When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 52: Back From the Dead

The CEO of Orion Corporation, the youngest and most promising heir of the Rainsworth family… Jonathan quickly located Orion Corporation's headquarters—also the Rainsworth Group's main building—and quietly noted its location. Soon, another sensational story emerged: Stella and the Orion CEO had gone home together to meet their parents, hinting at her ascension into the wealthy elite.

Jonathan's face darkened. He immediately searched for information on Stella, unearthing a plethora of explosive revelations from the dark web, each more scandalous than the last. He frowned. This scoundrel of a father, he thought, has absolutely no standards! What a disgrace!

Initially, Jonathan considered publicizing these findings, but decided against it, feeling it would let his father off too easily. This woman, he concluded, should remain to ensure his father's regret.

The following day, Vivian returned with a task. As the Kennedy heiress, her father, Roland, had summoned her home to manage a branch company, a move to hone her skills. She couldn't remain often, but a housekeeper was at the villa, and Jonathan was remarkably self-sufficient.

While freshening up, Vivian called Cecilia. “Ceci, Jonathan is very obedient. He’s still asleep.”

“That’s good,” Cecilia replied. “In Erihal, I planned to enroll him in preschool, but Eli’s situation delayed it. I intend to find one now.”

Vivian was surprised. “Preschool?”

“If that little rascal goes to preschool,” Cecilia mused, “the other children might be intimidated. But he’s considerate, so he likely wouldn't bully anyone. Though, with his looks, the boys wouldn't stand a chance!”

“What’s wrong?” Cecilia asked, noticing Vivian's hesitation.

“Nothing, I’ll handle it. I know a perfect international preschool,” Vivian said, recalling her nephew’s school.

“Thank you,” Cecilia said.

“No need for formalities.”

Jonathan, asleep, remained unaware of these plans. Cecilia reluctantly ended the call, preparing for Rainsworth Group. She’d seen the morning news—Nathaniel had already brought Stella home. She needed to conceive a child before their marriage; it would become far more difficult later.

That day, she wore a sophisticated outfit and tasteful makeup. As she settled into her car, Sven messaged: Zachary is waiting at the door.

Again? Cecilia frowned, perplexed by Stella's apparent hold on Zachary. She urged the driver to hurry. They soon passed Zachary's Maybach. Inside, Zachary watched Cecilia's car depart, his gaze darkening. The driver asked, “Mr. Zachary, should we…?”

“Yes, Sir.”

Zachary leaned back, his gaze lingering on the departing car, his sharp eyes filled with guilt. Following Cecilia, he realized she was heading toward Orion Corporation. Surprise flickered in his eyes. After watching her enter, he called his assistant.

“Come downstairs.”

Three minutes later, his assistant arrived. “Cecilia has returned to the company. Find out what’s happening.”

The assistant was shocked. Orion Corporation was vast, and they only handled Zachary’s affairs. They were unaware of Cecilia's situation. “Mr. Sinclair, isn't Cecilia dead? How could she be at the company?” The assistant knew Zachary’s disdain for Nathaniel’s wife.

Zachary showed a picture of Cecilia entering the building. The assistant was stunned. “Just investigate! Keep it quiet,” Zachary commanded.

“Yes, sir.”

The assistant hurried off. Zachary remained in his car, uncertain whether to follow Cecilia.
